The name is in honour of Sir Joseph Banks who collected the first <em>banksia<\/em> specimens in 1770, during James Cook\u2019s first expedition. There are 77 species. All but one of the living <em>banksia<\/em> species are endemic to Australia. Over 90% of all <em>banksia<\/em> species occur in the Southwest of Western Australia.<\/p>\n<p>61 of the species are Western Australian. They are related to the Proteas of southern Africa.<\/p>\n<p>The first Banksia collected in Western Australia, <em>Banksia menziesii<\/em>, in 1791, was by Archibald Menzies, the surgeon\/naturalist on Captain George Vancouver\u2019s voyage to King George Sound in 1791. (In those days the ship\u2019s doctor often multitasked as the botanist and naturalist as well as doing the amputations). The boat, the Discovery, went on to North America. Menzies\u2019 name is also remembered as the Douglas fir<em> Pseudotsuga menziesii.<\/em><\/p>\n<p>Banksias are well adapted to our nutrient poor soils. They put out cluster roots in wet weather to gather minute amounts of phosphate and other nutrients. Hence they are easily poisoned by application of fertilisers, which makes difficult their maintenance on the course. They are also prone to disease such as die-back caused by infection with P<em>hytophthora cinnamomi<\/em>. Pollination is usually by birds but some insects and even small marsupials (pygmy possums) can be involved.<\/p>\n<p>Originally there were four Banksias which grew around the course; <em>Banksia menziesii, B. attenuata, B. prionotes and B .grandis. Banksia menziesii<\/em> died out a few years ago but has been recently reintroduced.<\/p>\n<p>The fossil record from 50-60 million years ago shows that banksias were present in the part of Gondwana that became Australia. One fossil from the Kennedy Range near Carnarvon, <em>Banksia archaeocarpa, <\/em>thought to be 40 million years old, is strikingly similar to our slender <em>Banksia (B. attenuata).<\/em><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 12px; line-height: 1.5em;\">(Source: Wikipedia)<\/span><\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p><em>\u201cA tree the span of two arms starts from a tiny seedling.\u201d <\/em>\u00a0(Chinese proverb)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Banksia sceptrum Location:\u00a0 Just beyond the 2nd tee on the right Distribution: Central Western Australian coast and inland to Mallewa&#8230; <a class=\"read_more_link \" href=\"https:\/\/www.lkcc.com.au\/cms\/about-lkcc\/the-trees-of-lake-karrinyup\/wap\/sceptre-banksia-2\/\"> Read More <i class=\"fa fa-angle-right\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><\/i><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":23995,"parent":3436,"menu_order":21,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"ngg_post_thumbnail":0,"footnotes":"","_links_to":"","_links_to_target":""},"class_list":["post-10119","page","type-page","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.3 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Sceptre Banksia - Lake Karrinyup Country Club<\/title>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/www.lkcc.com.au\/cms\/about-lkcc\/the-trees-of-lake-karrinyup\/wap\/sceptre-banksia-2\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"Sceptre Banksia - Lake Karrinyup Country Club\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"Banksia sceptrum Location:\u00a0 Just beyond the 2nd tee on the right Distribution: Central Western Australian coast and inland to Mallewa...
